Kent, Arfrever and I talked on IRC about this bug and we've come to the conclusion the part of that updates symlinks is now obsolete and can go away. The remaining part of the function that's left is the eselect vi update call. Thanks for the heads up.
re last comment: *just* Arfrever and I talked on IRC. The wording of the sentence suggests that Kent also was involved in the discussion. :)
